An R
client for the OmniPath web service and many other resources.
Package contents
- Client for the OmniPath web service
- Functions for post-processing OmniPath data
- Ensembl BioMart, UniProt and KEGG clients
- Access to other databases (18+ resources, see below)
- Integration to NicheNet, a method to infer ligand activities from transcriptomics data
OmniPath web service client
OmnipathR retrieves the data from the OmniPath web service at
The web service implements a very simple REST-style API. This package makes requests by the HTTP protocol to retrieve the data. Hence, fast Internet access is required for a proper use of OmnipathR.
What is OmniPath?
OmniPath is a database of:
- Protein-protein, TF target and miRNA-mRNA interactions
- Enzyme-PTM relationships
- Protein complexes
- Annotations of protein function, structure, localization, expression
- Intercellular communication roles of proteins
To learn more about OmniPath, you can visit its website, or read our recent publication or our first paper from 2016, especially its supplementary material.
Access to further resources
The package provides access to a number of other databases: BioPlex, ConsensusPathDB, EVEX, Gene Ontology, Guide to Pharmacology (IUPHAR/BPS), Harmonizome, HTRIdb, Human Phenotype Ontology, InWeb InBioMap, KEGG Pathway, Pathway Commons, PrePPI, Ramilowski et al. 2015, RegNetwork, ReMap, TF census, TRRUST and Vinayagam et al. 2011.
Documentation
The latest version of the reference manual is available from https://static.omnipathdb.org/omnipathr_manual.pdf. Tutorials can be found at https://workflows.omnipathdb.org/. Scroll down for quick start examples.
OmniPath query types
We provide here a brief summary of the data available through OmnipathR. OmnipathR provides access to 5 types of queries:
- Interactions: protein-protein interactions from different datasets.
- Enzyme-substrate: enzyme-PTM (post-translational modification) relationships.
- Complexes: comprehensive database of more than 22000 protein complexes.
- Annotations: large variety of data about protein and complex features.
- Intercell: information on the roles in inter-cellular signaling.

Installation
First of all, you need a current version of R
(https://r-project.org).
From Bioconductor
OmnipathR is a freely available package deposited on Bioconductor and Github: (https://bioconductor.org/, https://github.com/saezlab/OmnipathR).
You can install it by running the following commands on a R
console:
if (!requireNamespace('BiocManager', quietly = TRUE))
install.packages('BiocManager')
## Last release in Bioconductor
BiocManager::install('OmnipathR', version = '3.12')
## Development version with the latest updates
BiocManager::install('OmnipathR', version = 'devel')
From github
We add new features to OmnipathR way more often than the Bioconductor release
frequency. To make use of the recent developments, you can use devtools
to
install the package directly from github:
require(devtools)
install_github('saezlab/OmnipathR')
Getting started and some usage examples
To get started, we strongly recommend to read our main vignette in order to deal with the different types of queries and handle the data they return:
https://saezlab.github.io/OmnipathR/articles/omnipath_intro.html
You can also check the manual:
https://saezlab.github.io/OmnipathR/reference/index.html
In addition, we provide here some examples for a quick start:
library(OmnipathR)
Download human protein-protein interactions from the specified resources:
interactions <- omnipath(
resources = c('SignaLink3', 'PhosphoSite', 'SIGNOR')
)
Download human enzyme-PTM relationships from the specified resources:
enzsub <- enzyme_substrate(resources = c('PhosphoSite', 'SIGNOR'))
Convert both data frames into networks (igraph
objects)
ptms_g = ptms_graph(ptms = enzsub)
OPI_g = interaction_graph(interactions = interactions)
Print some interactions in a nice format:
print_interactions(head(interactions))
source interaction target n_resources n_references
4 SRC (P12931) ==( + )==> TRPV1 (Q8NER1) 9 6
2 PRKG1 (Q13976) ==( - )==> TRPC6 (Q9Y210) 7 5
1 PRKG1 (Q13976) ==( - )==> TRPC3 (Q13507) 9 2
5 LYN (P07948) ==( + )==> TRPV4 (Q9HBA0) 9 2
6 PTPN1 (P18031) ==( - )==> TRPV6 (Q9H1D0) 3 2
3 PRKACA (P17612) ==( + )==> TRPV1 (Q8NER1) 6 1
Find interactions between a specific kinase and a specific substrate:
print_interactions(dplyr::filter(enzsub,enzyme_genesymbol=='MAP2K1',
substrate_genesymbol=='MAPK3'))
enzyme interaction substrate modification n_resources
1 MAP2K1 (Q02750) ====> MAPK3_Y204 (P27361) phosphorylation 8
2 MAP2K1 (Q02750) ====> MAPK3_T202 (P27361) phosphorylation 8
3 MAP2K1 (Q02750) ====> MAPK3_Y210 (P27361) phosphorylation 2
4 MAP2K1 (Q02750) ====> MAPK3_T207 (P27361) phosphorylation 2
Find the shortest paths on the directed network between proteins:
print_path_es(shortest_paths(OPI_g,from = 'TYRO3',to = 'STAT3',
output = 'epath')$epath[[1]],OPI_g)
source interaction target n_resources n_references
1 TYRO3 (Q06418) ==( ? )==> AKT1 (P31749) 2 0
2 AKT1 (P31749) ==( - )==> DAB2IP (Q5VWQ8) 3 1
3 DAB2IP (Q5VWQ8) ==( - )==> STAT3 (P40763) 1 1
Find all shortest paths between proteins:
print_path_vs(all_shortest_paths(OPI_g,from = 'DYRK2',to = 'MAPKAPK2')$res,OPI_g)
Pathway 1: DYRK2 -> TBK1 -> NFKB1 -> MAP3K8 -> MAPK3 -> MAPKAPK2
Pathway 2: DYRK2 -> TBK1 -> AKT3 -> MAP3K8 -> MAPK3 -> MAPKAPK2
Pathway 3: DYRK2 -> TBK1 -> AKT2 -> MAP3K8 -> MAPK3 -> MAPKAPK2
Pathway 4: DYRK2 -> TBK1 -> AKT1 -> MAP3K8 -> MAPK3 -> MAPKAPK2
Pathway 5: DYRK2 -> TBK1 -> AKT3 -> PEA15 -> MAPK3 -> MAPKAPK2
Pathway 6: DYRK2 -> TBK1 -> AKT2 -> PEA15 -> MAPK3 -> MAPKAPK2

Alternatives
Python
A similar web service client is available for Python:

Cytoscape
The OmniPath Cytoscape app provides access to the interactions, enzyme-PTM relationships and some of the annotations:
<https://apps.cytoscape.org/apps/omnipath>
Customization
The pypath Python module is a tool for building the OmniPath databases in a fully customizable way. We recommend to use pypath if you want to:
- Tailor the database building to your needs
- Include resources not available in the public web service
- Use the rich Python APIs available for the database objects
- Make sure the data from the original sources is the most up-to-date
- Use the methods in
pypath.inputs
to download data from resources - Use the various extra tools in
pypath.utils
, e.g. for identifier translation, homology translation, querying Gene Ontology, working with protein sequences, processing BioPAX, etc.
With pypath it's also possible to run your own web service and serve your custom databases to the OmnipathR R client and the omnipath Python client.
